Publisher Description
When Kyleigh Taylor walks into a restaurant to pick up her last paycheck, about a dozen of her former co-workers are murdered by a gang of drug runners, and Kyleigh is injured. And traumatized. At the hospital, two police detectives are anxious to speak with her. One of them has a soothing voice, and the more he speaks with her, the more comfortable she feels around him. His comfort is exactly what she needs and craves.
From the first moment Detective Jordy Mitchell sees her, he feels a connection, a need to protect her. Sharing an experience of PTSD helps form an instant bond. Jordy knows he should stay away from her—otherwise, he risks the case and his career. Now Jordy has to deal with his angry police captain, Kyleigh’s grudge-holding ex-boyfriend, and a drug-running thug with one thing on his mind: find Kyleigh and kill her. Mitchell knows she’s the perfect woman for him—he just has to keep her alive long enough to prove it to her.

Sweet Romance
I really enjoyed this romance suspense story. The opening started with a bang. Kyleigh was heading into her old job to get her last paycheck, and the restaurant was gunned down by thugs. I felt for her when she lost her good friend, died right in front of her eyes. I thought the author did a wonderful job with plot and setting. There wasn’t any boring moments at all; I could picture everything vividly like a Lifetime movie.
I liked Kyleigh and Jordy getting to know each other, but I’m not going to lie, I loved Rodriguez getting to know Kyleigh’s best friend better. Maybe because those two had flaws and were more relatable. Kyleigh was a Mary Sue and Jordy was a Gary Stu. I loved the scenes when the detectives hung out with the ladies, especially at the gym.
Two things that annoyed me: 1) when everyone dismissed Kyleigh’s panic attack at the bar after seeing a guy walk in 2) the detectives being okay with going to a “secret” spot where one of the thugs knew the whereabouts. I felt like the detectives really dropped the ball on providing safety for Kyleigh. If Jordy was thinking like a cop, instead of a boyfriend, then he may have been more responsive of potential dangers. But, if the characters were thinking logically, then the author couldn’t have written an interesting story 🙂
